The Panzerschreck (English: Tank terror), officially the Raketenpanzerbüchse (English: Rocket armor rifle), was a German rocket launcher designed during World War II. It was a reusable, shoulder-fired rocket launcher that fired a 88mm rocket-propelled grenade. It was heavily based on the American Bazooka.
Battlefield 1942[]
The Panzerschreck (misspelled as the Panzershreck in the game files) is issued to all of the Axis Powers Anti-Tank kit. Its essential use is as an anti-armor is quite effective, as it can take only 1-2 rockets from the back of a tank to destroy it. However, a player must truly look towards flanking a tank, as the frontal armor is much more durable. It can usually destroy a light vehicle in a single shot. It has a very small blast radius however, limiting its usefulness as an anti-infantry weapon. Despite this, careful aiming can assist in taking out stationary targets, as a direct hit will always kill. It is statistically the same as the Allies' Bazooka.
